Kenji Fujita “Will and Weather”

SOLOWAY

This event has ended.

SOLOWAY presents Will and Weather, Kenji Fujita’s first solo exhibition with the gallery.

Kenji Fujita is a visual artist who makes work out of ordinary materials such as wood, fabric, paper, and paint. For his flat work, he creates commonplace geometries of shape and form that are then cut, pressed, and glued into unexpected amalgams of order and disorder. With his constructed wall pieces, Fujita’s relations of shape, form, and structure become animated as the viewer engages the work from different points of view.

Will and Weather is a phrase that originated in a Wallace Stevens poem. Will suggests both intent and some future proposition. Weather is something that cannot be controlled.

Kenji Fujita has been making work for over 30 years. He was born in New York City and now lives and works in Staatsburg, NY. He teaches at Bard College and SVA.
